美国本土首个大型波浪能测试场PacWave South在俄勒冈州海岸正式开放，获得了特朗普政府的关键绿色能源审批 1。该设施由俄勒冈州立大学开发，美国能源部自2016年以来已投资近1.5亿美元用于选址和建设，旨在推动仍处于起步阶段的海洋能源产业 1。作为“预先许可”的测试场，开发商在此测试无需自行获取许可 1。目前该设施已连接电网，但因波浪能设备尚未到达而暂未发电 1。
海洋能源具备满足美国约57%电力需求的潜力，并有望增强国家安全 1。尽管特朗普政府对清洁能源设置诸多障碍，取消了数十亿美元清洁能源项目拨款，并花费近40亿美元回购租约以阻止海上风电项目，但官员仍认为波浪能潜力巨大，并为其提供了关键的绿色能源审批，使其成为特朗普政府时期的一个绿色能源里程碑 1。
PacWave South, the first large-scale wave energy testing facility on the U.S. mainland, has officially opened off the coast of Oregon 1. Developed by Oregon State University, the site operates as a pre-permitted testing area, eliminating the need for developers to secure their own testing permits 1. To advance the nascent marine energy industry, the U.S. Department of Energy has invested nearly $150 million since 2016 in the site's selection and construction 1. This launch serves as a key green energy milestone approved by the Trump administration 1.
While the facility is currently connected to the power grid, it is not yet generating electricity because the wave energy devices have not arrived 1. Marine energy has the potential to meet about 57% of the total electricity demand in the United States 1. Furthermore, officials note that wave energy offers tremendous potential and can enhance national security 1.
This approval contrasts with the Trump administration's broader obstacles to clean energy, as it has canceled billions of dollars in clean energy project grants 1. Additionally, the administration has spent nearly $4 billion to buy back leases specifically to block offshore wind projects 1.
